A celebrated performance conducted by Leopold Stokowski with the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Festival Hall, London, 14 June 1972. Part 2 here: www.youtube.com "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" by Claude Debussy. Performed on the double occassion of Stokowski's 90th birthday, and 60th anniversary of his LSO debut. Though he conducted the entire program from that 1912 concert, it was this Debussy performance folks recall most memorably. "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" was a specialty of Stokowski over the years, but he and his soloists surpassed themselves on this night, as you will see! Christopher Palmer wrote in "The Musical Times" that "My most treasured memory of the evening is undoubtedly 'Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune', which received a reading of exceptional refinement with all the tensions and relaxations effortlessly and beautifully graded, and unerringly poetic solo work from all the woodwind. A flawless performance." in "The Daily Telegraph" Peter Stadlen wrote "Stokowski's legendary hands, though batonless, are put to the strictest functional use. His angular, almost ungainly movements are the simple tools for some of he most masterly conducting the century has witnessed....by what seemingly incongruous flicks of the wrist did he promote the fabulously sensitve solos in 'Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune'? Never has lifelong global fame rested on more solid foundations." adapted from the liner notes by Edward Johnson Debussy: Prelude to "The <b>...</b>

Here is Leopold Stokowski's (1882-1977) transcription of Modest Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain". This is the version most famously featured as the ending sequence of the Disney film "Fantasia" (1948), and that most famously caused quite an uproar among movie-goers due to the demonic imagery used in the aforementioned clip. Stokowski was a prodigy along the lines of Maazel, entering into the Royal Academy of Music to study composition and conducting at the age of merely 13. During his long span as one of the most prominent and important conductors (not to mention one of the greatest) he was actually a very controversial figure. What many people probably don't know is that Stokowski was a great champion of contemporary music, giving the US and/or world premieres of works by Elgar, Vaughn Williams, Prokofiev, Schoenberg, Hovhaness, Copland, Barber, Berg, Feldman and other contemporary composers. He is also very important to the history of modern concert practice as well, popularizing the batonless technique of conducting, as well as inventing and popularizing the "pops concert" and the modern chairing of a symphony orchestra. He was able to produce what was then referred to as "the Stokowski Sound", although what is now called "the Philly Sound" (one of the many, illustrious orchestras he was resident conductor for), and was the greatest influence on many conductors proceeding him, particularly Leonard Bernstein. His transcriptions and editing of works were considered <b>...</b>

Written for voice (soprano or tenor) with piano accompaniment, it contains no words, and is usually sung entirely to the vowel "ah". It was dedicated to soprano Antonina Nezhdanova. Although the original publication stipulates that the song may be sung by either soprano or tenor voice, it is virtually never performed by a tenor as the male voice's range (an octave lower than a soprano) would sound very odd in relation to the piano accompaniment. The range of the piece is high, going up to a high C-sharp (although Rachmaninoff offers an alternative version which only reaches high A).

Introduction The Firebird and Her Dance Round Dance of the Princesses Infernal Dance of King Kastchei Stokowski/Philadelphia Recorded October 12, 1927 The following is a synopsis of the story from Edwin Evans' Stravinsky. Kastchei, the green-taloned ogre, is the embodiment of evil. His soul does not dwell in his misshapen body, but is carefully preserved beyond reach of harm in a precious casket. So long as it remains intact Kastchei is immortal and retains his power for mischief, holding maidens captive and turning their male defenders to stone. Their redemption can be effected only by gaining access to the casket and destroying the ogre's soul. One day, Prince Ivan, whilst hunting, sees a bird whose plumage shines with the brilliance of flame. He follows it, and it leads him to Kastchei's magic garden, where he succeeds in capturing it. But the Firebird pleads for its freedom, and when Ivan eventually relents, it presents him with one of its flame-colored feathers in token that it will fly to his aid in case of need. After the bird has flown away Kastchei's captive maidens repair to the garden, as is their wont, to play with the golden apples that grow there. Here Ivan comes upon them and, after some hesitation, is allowed to join in their game. But at the approach of dawn they return to the ogre's palace, warning him not to attempt to follow. Undeterred he tears open the gates whereupon, to the sound of a magic carillon, there issues from them the whole monstrous <b>...</b>

Andante moderato (Prelude to Act I) - Aragonaise. Allegro vivo (Prelude to Act IV) - Habanera. Allegretto quasi Andantino (Act I) - IV. Farandole. Allegro deciso (Tempo di Marcia) - Allegro vivo e deciso Carmen is a French opera by Georges Bizet. The libretto was written by Meilhac and Halévy, based on the story of the same title by Prosper Mérimée. The opera was premiered at the Opéra Comique of Paris on March 3, 1875. For a year after its premiere, it was considered a failure, denounced by critics as "immoral" and "superficial". Today, it is one of the world's most popular operas.[1] In fact, Opera America claims it to be the fourth most-performed opera in North America. The story concerns the eponymous Carmen, a beautiful gypsy with a fiery temper. Not careful with her love, she is responsible for the downfall of many men. She woos the corporal Don José, leading him to mutiny against his superior. His infatuation causes him to join a band of smugglers, of which Carmen is a member. He is happy with Carmen for a brief period, but is driven to madness when she turns from him to the bullfighter Escamillo. Several well-known pieces from this opera have taken on a life separate to the work: the Prélude (overture), the Toréador Song, and the Habanera.

Leopold Stokowski (April 18, 1882 -- September 13, 1977), British-born American orchestral conductor. Panis angelicus, fit panis hominum. Dat panis coelicus, figuris terminum. O res mirabilis, manducat Dominum Pauper et servus et humilis. Te trina Deitas, unaque, poscimus, Sic nos tu visita sicut te colimus; Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, Ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen. César Franck, French musical composer, Belgian by birth but who came of German stock, was born at Liége (then in the Netherlands, now in Belgium) on the 10th of December 1822. Though one of the most remarkable of modern classical composers, César Franck labored for many years in comparative obscurity. After some preliminary studies at Liége he came to Paris in 1837 and entered the Conservatoire. He at once obtained the first prize for piano, transposing a fugue at sight to the astonishment of the professors, for he was only fifteen. He won the prize for the organ in 1841, after which he settled down in the French capital as teacher of the piano. His earliest compositions date from this period, and include four trios for piano and strings, besides several piano pieces. Ruth, a biblical cantata was produced with success at the Conservatoire in 1846. An opera entitled Le Valet de Ferme was written about this time, but has never been performed. For many years Franck led a retired life, devoting himself to teaching and to his duties as organist, first at Saint-Jean-Saint-François, then at Ste. Clotilde <b>...</b>

Leopold Stokowski (April 18, 1882 -- September 13, 1977), British-born American orchestral conductor Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (March 9, 1839 - March 16, 1881) was born into a wealthy rural, landowning family. At the age of six, he began to study piano with his mother. His parents initially set him out on the career of military officer. During this time, he met a musically-inclined army doctor: Alexander Borodin. The two became friends. In 1861, with Russia's emancipation of the serfs, his family lost significant income, and he was forced to earn a living. In 1863, he began a spotty career in the civil service, which dismissed him at least twice. In 1856, he met the composer Dargomïzhsky, who in turn introduced him to Cesar Cui, Mily Balakirev, and a critic named Victor Stasov. Gradually, Borodin and Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakoff joined to form a loose group known as the "Moguchaya Kuchka" ("the mighty handful" or "the mighty bunch"). All but Stasov nursed ambitions to compose, and all had very definite ideas about what Russian music should be. None of them had formal training in composition. Mussorgsky absorbed these main ideas of the Kuchka: 1. Russian music should express the Russian soul. 2. Russian music should be written in a Russian way. The latter idea meant mainly a rejection of German classical forms in favor of one-off, "organic" forms and revered those artists who wrote accordingly, like Franz Liszt and Hector Berlioz.

Leopold Stokowski conducts the New York Philharmonic (under its summertime name) in this performance, which I believe dates to the late 1940s, of the 1812 Overture, Op. 49, by Tchaikovsky. From the LP you see above (label is at 8:25, box cover, 8:46), issued in the early 1970s as part of a 5-LP collection under the Murray Hill label. Tchaikovsky composed this work for the occasion of the dedication of the Cathedral Church of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. It was first performed in Moscow on January 8, 1882.

In 1967, the 85-year-old Leopold Stokowski visited Copenhagen and conducted Nielsen's 2nd Symphony for the only time in his life. The work's four movements were inspired by a picture that Nielsen had seen in village inn, depicting four "temperaments": the Choleric, the Phlegmatic, the Melancholic, and the Sanguine. This Danish Radio Symphony concert's first half was filmed and from it we see Stokowski conducting the first movement ("Allegro collerico") of the Nielsen Symphony. The whole performance has been issued on DVD by Video Artists International (VAI Music). The audio soundtrack was also issued on CD by EMI Classics / IMG Artists in their "Great Conductors" Series.

Arranged by Stokowski -- part 2 is what is generally performed. Leopold Stokowski (April 18, 1882 -- September 13, 1977) was a British-born American orchestral conductor, well known for his free-hand performing style that spurned the traditional baton and for obtaining a characteristically sumptuous sound. Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin (Russian: Алекса́ндр Порфи́рьевич Бороди́н, tr. Aleksandr Porfir'evič Borodin) (12 November [OS 31 October] 1833 --27 February [OS 15 February] 1887) was a Russian Romantic composer and a successful chemist, of Georgian-Russian parentage. He was a member of the group of composers called The Five (or "The Mighty Handful"), who were dedicated to producing a specifically Russian kind of art music. He is best known for his symphonies, his two string quartets, and his opera Prince Igor. Music from Prince Igor and his string quartets was later adapted for the musical Kismet. The Polovtsian Dances (or Polovetsian Dances) are perhaps the best known selections from Alexander Borodin's opera Prince Igor (1890). They are often played as a stand-alone concert piece. Borodin was the original composer, but the opera was left unfinished at his death and was subsequently completed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Glazunov. In the opera the dances are performed with chorus, but concert performances often omit the choral parts. The dances do not include the "Polovtsian March" which opens Act III (No. 18), but the overture, dances, and march from the <b>...</b>

Recorded in 1934 Leopold Stokowski (April 18, 1882 -- September 13, 1977), British-born American orchestral conductor Richard Georg Strauss (11 June 1864 -- 8 September 1949) was a leading German composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras. He is known for his operas, which include Der Rosenkavalier and Salome; his Lieder, especially his Four Last Songs; and his tone poems and orchestral works, such as Death and Transfiguration, Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Also sprach Zarathustra, An Alpine Symphony, and Metamorphosen. Strauss was also a prominent conductor throughout Germany and Austria. Death and Transfiguration (Tod und Verklärung), Op. 24, is a tone poem for large orchestra by Richard Strauss. Strauss began composition in the late summer of 1888 and completed the work on November 18, 1889. The work is dedicated to the composer's friend Friedrich Rosch. Unusually for a composer of 25 years of age, the music depicts the death of an artist. At Strauss's request, this was described in a poem by the composer's friend Alexander Ritter as an interpretation of Death and Transfiguration, after it was composed.[1] As the man lies dying, thoughts of his life pass through his head: his childhood innocence, the struggles of his manhood, the attainment of his worldly goals; and at the end, he receives the longed-for transfiguration "from the infinite reaches of heaven". Strauss conducted the premiere on 21 June 1890 at the Eisenach Festival (on the same program with <b>...</b>
